MarvinFreeman#Merz of #Germany really is a clown. Not the insane sociopath that #Trump is, but clownish enough to be in the US Congress.

Of course, #Merz isn't the only one.
The US and Israel’s violation of international law has been recognised by European leaders of all political stripes, including far-right Giorgia Meloni in Italy, liberals such as Emmanuel Macron and Donald Tusk in France and Poland, Christian Democrat Friedrich Merz in Germany, and the centre-left UK prime minister Keir Starmer. Yet none of them – nor the European Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen – have followed with condemnation.Some have been blunt about disregarding international law. #Meloni, while admitting to the Italian parliament that the war violates international law, declared that she neither condemned nor condoned the action. Merz claimed that international law was not a useful framework and that this was not the time to preach to friends and allies. Von der Leyen added the cherry on the cake when she stated that debating whether the war is one of choice – that is, illegal – or of necessity – legal – “partly misses the point” and that Europe must accept the world as it is.

myrmepropagandistI'm trying not to post "surprised pikachu face" memes about all of the people discovering that tiktok is now censoring coverage of protests, and mentions of Epstein.
And I'm watching as everyone tramples over to Yet Another Corporate Platform where the same thing will happen in a few dozen months.
Ya'll need to get out for real.
Or at least have a backup that doesn't run on OPP (Other People's Platforms)
Chris TrottierJust watched two Japanese people play Ninja Golf for the first time, and it was hilarious because they were trying to figure out why a ninja would need to play golf.

Sonnet a DaySonnet 138 - CXXXVIII
When my love swears that she is made of truth,
I do believe her though I know she lies,
That she might think me some untutored youth,
Unlearned in the world's false subtleties.
Thus vainly thinking that she thinks me young,
Although she knows my days are past the best,
Simply I credit her false-speaking tongue:
On both sides thus is simple truth suppressed:
But wherefore says she not she is unjust?
And wherefore say not I that I am old?
O! love's best habit is in seeming trust,
And age in love, loves not to have years told:
Therefore I lie with her, and she with me,
And in our faults by lies we flattered be.

I had a job when I was in HS working in an office of a importer and exporter of cigars and the guy who ran the company thought I was a computer genius with rare super powers because I knew how to set up a mail merge in word and excel to make his invoices and letters for his customers.
It was a little tricky back then. But really just read the directions and follow them. I thought "some day computers will be so easy to use everyone will be able to do this"
Yeah. That didn't happen.
